Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, following the process of electrolysis, whereby water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules using electricity.
One of the main fields of application for which hydrogen is being explored is the conversion of conventional gas distribution networks into hydrogen networks.
Another challenge for the entire hydrogen supply chain, and specifically for car manufacturers, is storage. Hydrogen has a very low density, which means it has to be stored at high pressure. Kiwa offers services like certification, testing and inspection for hydrogen storage.
The heating industry can play a leading role in the technological reconversion and consolidation of the hydrogen supply chain.
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can make an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport. Kiwa has an extensive test laboratory for hydrogen vehicle components.
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can make industry less dependent on natural gas and coal, improving the sustainability of energy-intensive industrial processes.
We have compiled our key public documentation for you on hydrogen and are sharing it with you via the dedicated download pages. Discover in the whitepapers, infographics, case studies and videos who we are and what we do within the hydrogen field.
